So, I'm a little (a lot) under the weather, and there's not been a lot of real cooking going on in our house. I did join in on an email recipe exchange, though! Here are a few recipes I got today. I thought they looked really good and not too difficult! Enjoy the beautiful snow today! (When do we get to quit experiencing winter weather?) Take some extra vitamin C, too!
And, lastly, don't eat cantaloupe for awhile--it all started there, led to salmonella poisoning, and opened the door to catch Cloe's strep throat...ugh!

Cream sugar and butter, blend in next 6 ingredients. Stir in flour and oatmeal. Spread in 9 x 13 greased pan. Bake 20-25 minutes in 350o oven. Remove from oven and sprinkle 6 oz. of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Return to oven for a few minutes so chips are soft enough to be spread over bars. Cool, then drizzle on peanut butter frosting.

Those all sound delicious!! I especially love quiches so I know I'll try that one. I'm sorry you've been so sick! This is awful, but when I saw your status of having salmonella poisoning I thought it was an April Fool's joke. That's so awful! Hope you're feeling better by tomorrow for MOPS and the retreat!

Our little princess, Cloe, is our firstborn and our only girl. She's as sweet and helpful as they come! Her brothers adore her and don't usually mind her mothering. She's also an aspiring artist, excelling student, and growing pianist!

McClain is our tenderhearted, cuddly boy. He loves to watch Daddy and Grandpa work and will probably one day be the best engineer, mechanic, carpenter around! He's always got a sweet, sticky kiss and a hug ready to give away!

Carson adds boundless amounts of energy and excitement to our family! Playing Superheros, sword-fighting, and saving the world are his favorite activities. He loves school and wants to be a police officer someday!

Maddox is our tag-along baby who officially pushed us into the "Big Family" club. He has a contagious smile and a very easy go-with-the-flow personality. He is never lacking for attention or kisses at our house!

Cody and I have been married for almost fourteen years!We're humbled at all the blessings God has given us along the way. We love to be together and think having four kids is pretty swell...as long as there's enough coffee!
